24.01.2022 Did you know that #Physicalrehabilitation and #ExercisePhysiology can assist in the long-term management of chronic conditions such as #diabetes? Some other benefits include preventing certain diseases, maintaining functional independence and increasing #SportsPerformance for athletes. This 14th of November will be #WorldDiabetesDay and the theme for 2020 is the critical role Nurses play in helping patients manage and prevent diabetes.... Nurses account for over half of the global health workforce and do some outstanding work in helping patients deal with a limitless breadth of health challenges. The key to ensuring we keep diabetes risk and complications to a minimum is education - when we provide training to nurses on this health issue, they become equipped to tackle it from all sorts of angles.

19.01.2022 Ever heard of #frozenshoulder before? Frozen shoulder is a bit of an enigmatic condition, characterised by intensifying pain radiating from the shoulder that eventually limits (or "freezes") the movement of the region entirely.

19.01.2022 Patient Spotlight - Maloni (Loni) Loni started his Exercise Physiology journey at SWSM approximately 16 weeks ago under the guidance of our Exercise Physiologist Haylee Ingle, to assist with his rehabilitating a workplace injury to his knee.

Along the way, the exercise rehabilitation inspired him to make a holisti...c change to his lifestyle where he also began his weight loss journey. Loni had lost a total of 15kgs when this photo was taken, and he has increased his knee strength and bulk significantly.

13.01.2022 Our topic of the month is Podiatry, and our feature blog is covering #runningshoes. Did you know that the shoes you use for running (or any for sports) play a critical role in not only your comfort, but also your #performance and in preventing injuries? An appropriate pair of shoes will have features like a firm heel counter, a stable shank that doesn’t fold in half and a forefoot which bends at the ball of the foot. Additionally, things like the elevation of the heel and t...he stability and fit are key when choosing the correct pair of shoes. Head over to learn more swsm.com.au/blog and for professional advice regarding #footwear, #running technique, or #footpain, it is best to consult with a #sportspodiatrist who will be able to tailor your treatment to your needs.

13.01.2022 Debilitating musculoskeletal conditions can arise from anything like sports or work-related injuries or overuse to ageing and factors present since birth. That’s where #physiotherapists come in - by assessing patients and equipping them with the right exercises and therapy early on, these muscle, tendon or joint complications have a much greater chance of recovering and allowing patients to live, work, and exercise normally. At SWSM we specialise in biomechanical analysis and... use the latest evidence-based treatments to help you achieve just that. Want to read more?

11.01.2022 Dont Just Stretch To Warm Up Stretching is NOT a warm-up. In fact, stretch and hold stretches should not be done before exercise at all. Holding stretches cause tiny muscle tears throughout the muscle which essentially weakens the muscle. So why would you make yourself weaker before you play? These days we advise movement-based stretching where you move your joints through the full range of motion needed for the exercise youre about to do. Add some foam roller work ...and something easy that gets you sweating and your heart rate up, and youve got the essentials of a basic warm-up.

Patients are encouraged to be referred by their general practitioner (GP). All fees are bulk billed through Medicare.

11.01.2022 A great post by SWSM Physio Andrew @andrewtran.physio ARE YOU OVERTRAINING Overtraining is viewed as prolonged fatigue and underperformance following periods of extended training or competition. ... It occurs when training loads do not allow for adaptations to take place I.e not enough rest and recovery Symptoms can include Irritability and Agitation Reduced quality of sleep Restlessness Lack of concentration What can I do to prevent overtraining? To make sure you dont fall into overtraining, it is important to recover as hard as you train And no, it does not mean taking an extra scoop of protein. Improved Rest - Getting at least 8 hours of sleep daily Improved nutrition Prioritise whole foods Careful monitoring of daily and weekly training loads Light stretching and exercise See more
